Shine Tom Chacko known for his roles in Telugu films like Dasara, Devara and Daaku Maharaaj is a busy actor working on several South Indian projects.
However he’s recently been in the news for the wrong reasons. Reports suggest he has been using drugs on film sets, and his behavior has become a topic of concern.
Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious has filed a complaint against him, the Film Chamber, and the team behind the movie Soothravakyam, which stars Shine, Vincy, and Deepak Parambol, and is directed by Srikanth Kandragula.
Shine reportedly ran away from a hotel in Kochi during a police raid. CCTV footage captured the incident and he hasn’t responded to the complaint yet.
It’s worth noting that Shine was also arrested in 2015 in a cocaine-related case. His actions have once again drawn attention and concern in the industry.
